History

In The Beginning
Don Smith started Metro Building Supplies in 1969. Our store was located at 163 St. Peters Road in part of the old Ellis Brothers Shopping Centre in the general area of what is now Razzy’s Roadhouse.

Hear is one of our first Guardian ads dating back about forty years ago. As you can see from the ad, we were carrying Pella windows back then and today we are Canada’s oldest Pella window dealer.
